Given the worsening situation, particularly in the Surucucu region, where there is an alarming increase in acute malnutrition in children, malaria, and infectious diseases, exacerbated by corruption and the diversion of medicines in the Yanomami Special Indigenous Health District (DSEI Yanomami).

In addition to the lack of oversight from the National Indian Foundation (FUNAI) and budget cuts to Indigenous Health, there is a true humanitarian crisis underway in the TIY.

We are witnessing the genocide of the forest-protecting peoples, with no effective action from the federal government. Illegal mining is causing several irreversible impacts, jeopardizing the existence and future of the Yanomami people.

Help save the lives of the forest protectors!
